Mark VII bag box 'bottom'

Post by JPG »

Continuing bag box 'enhancements' to the Mark VII

Repeating a previous post, the 'bottom' has a 'nest' that fits between the Mark VII 'legs'(they run horizontally end to end). The bag box sets in the middle.

Into this nest goes the shaper fence and the lathe tool rest parts.

An end plate, a depression for the rip fence rear clamp and a nest for the miter gauge base end. Also 6 holes for mounting the bag box to the 'legs'.

The right end slides under the bag box right end(it extends a half inch in past the inner mounting holes). The left end of the sliding partition will clear the box box left end. The 'knob' serves as both a handle for moving the partition and a peg to mount the tail stock onto.

More follows - it gets 'populated'.

Looking good! Boy, those double sided conical discs are cool! 2 grits at once!

They are flat on the 'out' side and 'conical' on the shaft side.

The conical angle is less than the Mark 5/V/7. I have not measured it (yet).

Now just need to obtain some 10" abrasive disks.

The 'nest' for the disks may need to be altered. I made them sloppy to accommodate the added thickness due to the paper.

I may make the right side 'addition' over. I like the left side(made last) better.

Not really satisfied with the front table extension storage. Likely will fall when MVII is moved.

Thanks!
